Chapter 868 Not a Weakness, But a Treasure

01 was momentarily stunned.

Qianzhu gently patted it, put the notebook away, got up and went to bed to rest.

He certainly wouldn't let all the alternate accounts die; he just felt there was no need to answer question 01.

After Conan and the others were safely taken to the hospital, Pramia detonated the liquid bomb she had planted inside the plaza building, but the bomb did not injure anyone. The casualties were caused by her directly firing her gun.

However, those who died were mostly background police officers. Characters like Sato and Takagi, who had a lot of screen time, certainly wouldn't die, but injuries were inevitable.

Many police officers were rushed to the hospital by ambulance.

As for Pramia, although they failed to capture her, they did manage to frustrate her, which showed that their plan was effective.

But not many (?)

Hospital.

When Chizuru arrived, Conan and the others were still asleep, and there was no one else in the ward.

He sat down on the chair next to Kawakita Machi's bed. After sitting quietly for a few minutes, Okiya Subaru and Conan both woke up one after the other.

Kawasaki Machi was also awake, but he sat silently and listlessly on the bed, hugging his knees.

Conan moved his weak body and managed to sit up.

He turned to look at Chuan Shengzhenzhi and Qianzhu, hesitating to speak.

Qianzhu looked up at him, somewhat puzzled: "What happened between you two?"

Conan opened his mouth, and finally recounted what had happened to them last night.

When Qianzhu heard the word "Death," her eyes showed a slightly different expression.

He nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Kawasei Maru's face, and murmured, "You just said that Makoto was injected with an unknown blood-red liquid?"

"Um."

Conan nodded, looking at Kawasaki Machi with concern, then turned to Chizuru, "Chizuru, do you know anything?"

Qianzhu glanced at him and denied it, "I don't know, I just feel it's not a good thing."

He stood up, ruffled Kawasaki Machi's hair, and then turned and left.

"I'm leaving now."

As soon as Qianzhu finished speaking, she left the ward as if she had teleported, before Conan and the others could even react.

Conan paused for a moment, exchanged a glance with Subaru Okiya, and decided to rest and recover their strength first.

The drug injected by the masked man in black was extremely potent, and it took them most of the day to recover.

During this time, they rested and chatted with Kawasaki Machi, but the latter hardly responded to them, remaining immersed in his own world.

The death of Kawasaki Maru must have been a huge blow to him, especially since it was because of him that Kawasaki Maru was restrained, which led to her death.

Conan stayed behind to keep Kawasato Machi company, while Subaru Okiya went to deal with Kawasato Maru's body.

However, as soon as he arrived at the morgue, he encountered a man dressed in platinum monk robes.

The other party smiled slightly at Subaru Okiya and got straight to the point, "Our church will take his body with us first."

Subaru Okiya frowned.

Previously, Behringer's body was also taken away by the church.

What is their purpose...?

After the monk finished speaking, he walked away. By the time Subaru Okiya entered the morgue, Kawasei Maru's body was gone.

Okiya Subaru: "..."

He had no choice but to return to the ward and exchange glances with Conan.

This matter can only be kept from Kawasaki Machi for the time being.

If he finds out, the person will probably be even more devastated.

They left the hospital with Machika Kawakita.

Since he was now the only child left, Subaru Okiya took him back to the Kudo residence to live with him, which would also make it easier to take care of him.

......

Church Island.

Inside the "forbidden area" behind the church.

Qianzhu stood in the center, a blue light shining down on him from above.

His pupils turned gold, and his black hair seemed to have grown longer.

Suddenly, the lights inside the forbidden area blazed on, illuminating the dark hall.

The hall is about fifty square meters, and there aren't many things in it, so it feels quite spacious.

There are six crystal coffins on each of the two side walls, and one more on the wall directly in front, making a total of thirteen coffins.

On the left, two coffins contain figures that can be vaguely seen; these are none other than the already deceased clones—Akiyama Reiichi and Behffinger.

On the right is a coffin containing Kawasaki Masashi.

The three coffins were enveloped in a gentle, bright golden light, yet the lines were studded with sharp thorns, like brambles.

The other end was connected to the coffin in front.

A faint golden sphere floated around each of the crystal coffins. When Qianzhu reached out his hand, they floated to his side and affectionately circled around him.

Qianzhu's expression was indifferent, appearing even more aloof than the person 01 saw in the "Dream Mirror".

He is dull in character.

Qianzhu, however, is indifferent to everything in the world, selfish, self-serving, and unscrupulous.

It was completely contrary to his gentle appearance.

“Dawn”.

[Dawn understands.]

Qianzhu gently waved the orbs of light and then turned to leave.

The forbidden area was plunged into darkness once again.

The meeting room of the church.

Yuna wiped the shelf next to the conference table, on which sat several golden candles.

Except for two of them, the others are still burning.

However... one of them was already flickering and about to go out, clearly teetering on the brink of extinguishing.

Yuna paused for a moment, then silently moved the flickering candle next to the two extinguished candles.

Since the master had not given any orders, the priest had not given any instructions, and the witch had said not to worry about it, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"........"

At the Kudo residence, several people gathered around the bed, looking at the dazed Kawasaki Machi with worried expressions.

What should we do now?

Kawasaki Machi has been in this state for almost two days. He hasn't slept or eaten much. If this continues, his body will definitely not be able to take it.

Liu Qingyao sighed, sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled Chuan Shengzhenzhi into her arms, gently patting his back as if soothing a baby.

“Machi, don’t be sad. If Maru finds out, he will definitely blame himself for not protecting you.”

Kawasaki Machi blinked, tears welling up in his eyes.

"But...it was because of me that my brother was killed...my brother was so strong, my brother was so strong..."

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Liu Qingyao wiped away his tears, pinched his cheek, and softly retorted, "That's not how it is. It's not your fault. It's all Death's fault."

“You are not his weakness, you are his treasure.”

Chuan Shengzhenzhi sobbed and hugged Liu Qingyao, crying sadly.
